Marie, Our thoughts are with you and your family. Paul was a great friend. I'll always remember our trip cross country, especially when we went to Old Tucson and going to see The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Our prayers and our love go out to you and your family.

Marie,
You, Paul, and your family have been in our prayers for quite some time. Ronnie and I had the pleasure to meet Paul only a few times, but we knew him more than he realized. You always spoke of Paul in so many conversations that we knew what a loving and considerate man he was. We will continue to pray for you, Tommy, and Lisa during this difficult time.
All our love,
Renee & Ronnie

Caracciola family,
I had the distinct pleasure in knowing Paul for more than twenty years as we went back to our days of playing racquet ball together. Paul was a champion in all that he did and a great business man,second to know one. He touched so many lives in a positive way. I was always proud to call Paul a friend. I will miss you my old friend. Prayers to the family.
